I am in a long-distance relationship with an amazing, beautiful, strong young woman, who happens to suffer from Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and a whole bunch of related ailments. Basically, her body's collagen production is crap, and she gets regular dislocations, which in themselves are very painful. But she also deals with chronic nerve pain, arthritis in her hands, and frequent infections. The last month or so has been especially bad for her.
The worst feeling is watching a loved one suffer while not being able to be there for her. Do any of you experience anything similar? Can anyone give any kind of advice on how to be of service to her, despite living over 5000 miles away? I'm sorry to lay this immense burden before this community, but the members of this community are some of the kindest, most understanding people I know.
Anyway, thank you for reading about my plight, and I hope you all have a great weekend.
